Regional Game 1 Thread vs. SDSU

[Dawg61]

Announcer just said that SDSU was 18-14 away from home this year. I thought we were saying they were worse on the road? Is he wrong or am I thinking about ULL? I can't remember.

15-14 before MW tournament

[Five-tool Poster]

Yep Mississippi State stuff all over.

[msstate7]

Awesome!! Does he have Maroon on?

He's probably wearing green

[Dawg61]

Seyler still in but BP is active

[msstate7]

We always seem to let pitchers settle back in. I wish we would keep our foot on pitchers throats better

[DudyDawg]

15-14 before MW tournament

ahhh okay makes sense. Thanks

[DudyDawg]

Vick groundout, still 4-2

[Dawg61]

Vickerson bounces out to 2nd 123 inning for Seyler 65 pitches headed to top 5th 4-2 Dawgs

[I seen it dawg]

Shit we can't let this guy off the hook.

[TheRef]

Alright, boys. I'm back from an exciting Boys State Basketball Final in the Hump. It looks like y'all have PBP setup for this game so I'll just sit and watch.

[TheRef]

Gentry in the Pen

[Dawg61]

Cohen has long sleeve undershirt and a windbreaker jacket on in 86 degree heat and not a drop of sweat on him

[DudyDawg]

leadoff man up. Fitts at 72 pitches so far

[TheRef]

Cohen has long sleeve undershirt and a windbreaker jacket on in 86 degree heat and not a drop of sweat on him

Cohen has ice water in his veins.

[DudyDawg]

He grounds out to Brett. 1 down

[Dawg61]

Ground out to Pirtle 1 out 73 pitches

[Dawg61]

Hard line out to Brown 2 out 76 pitches

[DudyDawg]

The two hitter smacks a liner right at Cody Brown. Two down for France. Fitts working pretty quickly this inning. Just as I say that, first pitch groundout. Inning over

[Dawg61]

1st pitch ground out to Heck 123 inning for Fitts headed to B5th 4-2 Dawgs 77 pitches

[CadaverDawg]

Good quick inning. Needed that for Fitts pitch count

[TheRef]

Looking at the radar, it's basically all dependent on whether or not one pops up right to the South. These storms are slow moving and very temperamental.

[Dawg61]

Pirtle rips single between 1st n 2nd basemen

[DudyDawg]

Pirtle laces one for a single btwn first and second to leadoff the fifth

[DudyDawg]

Hit n Run attempt fouled back. Wasn't bunting there

[Dawg61]

Pirtle trying to steal fouled off, Seyler throwing pickoff attempts again

[Dawg61]

Collins swings at ball in dirt

[Dawg61]

6th pickoff attempt

[Dawg61]

Collins waves at curve 2 feet off plate 1 out 1 on

[DudyDawg]

Collins chases one in the dirt, then one that would've broken Detz kneecap in the other box. He K's, one out Pirtle on first

[CadaverDawg]

Damn Collins, awful looking K

[CadaverDawg]

That's one reason why we bunt so much

[Dawg61]

Fullerton grand slam 5-1 Cal St over Nebraska

[DudyDawg]

Heck pops out two 2baseman. Two out Pirtle still on first. Should gavin have bunted him over? Not sure

[drunkernhelldawg]

About how many State fans are down there?

[CadaverDawg]

Horrible at bats for Collins and Heck

[Dawg61]

Brown singles to RF 2 on 2 out

[CadaverDawg]

There's a run if Collins bunts

[maroonmania]

Yep, if we would have bunted Pirtle would have scored on Brown's hit.

[DudyDawg]

Trainer and Cohen out to second to talk to Pirtle who looked like he strained himself rounding second. Looks like he's staying in the game

[Dawg61]

Pirtle tweaks leg on single not serious but might be coming out

[I seen it dawg]

In their pen now

[CadaverDawg]

Lefty enters the game

[Marketingbully jizzes his pants]

[DudyDawg]

Yep, if we would have bunted Pirtle would have scored on Brown's hit.

Yeah but hindsight is 20/20. We've hit it really hard today so I'm not terribly upset we didn't bunt him over

[Dawg61]

There's a run if Collins bunts

Bad AB on Collins, Seyler sucks no free outs by bunting imo

[HereComesTheSpiral]

That's one reason why we bunt so much

I think 16 singles against kentucky shows why we bunt so much. You would think the law of averages would say there would be one extra base hit in the 16.

[I seen it dawg]

Pirtle ain't coming out

[Dawg61]

Freshman LH in 4.35 era in 20 IP

[Dawg61]

Detz RBI single 5-2 Detz has 2 hits and 3 hard hit balls, he's on fire

[DudyDawg]

RBI single by Detz single to right. Brown stays at 3rd. kKinda surprised we didn't PH w a lefty coming in, but Detz handles the bat well and hammers a single.

[Dawg61]

Rea up with a chance to really hurt SDSU

[Dawg61]

Rea bounces out to 3rd headed to 6th 5-2 Dawgs

[TheRef]

Gentry on the bump

[Irondawg]

Boy it would nice if we could milk 7 innnings out of Fitts

[Dawg61]

Myles Gentry in

[DudyDawg]

Not bunting doesn't hurt us in the end I guess since Pirtle scored anyway. Myles Gentry in…………. I hope he's the second dog to prove something to me today

[Irondawg]

well that's surprising but maybe they though they tempted fate too much.

So here's the question - if gentry struggles do you burn lingo or try someone else?

[Dawg61]

First pitch fly out to Brown 1 out

[DudyDawg]

First pitch hit well into RCF but Cody tracks it down. 1 out

[DudyDawg]

well that's surprising but maybe they though they tempted fate too much.

So here's the question - if gentry struggles do you burn lingo or try someone else?

Avoid lingo as much as possible today. At all costs nearly IMO

[I seen it dawg]

Jesus this is scary bringing the gascan in here. Now we for sure gonna have to use Londy

[Dawg61]

Hard hit to Pirtle 2 outs 5 pitches

[curmudgeon]

If Gentry can finish this game and keep Lingo and Holder in the pen, I'll take a 5-4 win.

[curmudgeon]

7 pitch 1-2-3 inning for Gentry.

[Dawg61]

Clean 123 inning for Gentry headed to b6th 5-2 Dawgs

[Irondawg]

so who would be up next after Gentry - Tatum or Hudson?

[DudyDawg]

If Gentry can finish this game and keep Lingo and Holder in the pen, I'll take a 5-4 win.

I don't think he could finish it, but if he can take it to 8 or 9 and bring in Woody/Brace or someone to end it, no complaints. With him in now I still would like a few more runs on the board

[DudyDawg]

Britton beamed on first pitch. CT up w runner on 1st no outs

[I seen it dawg]

Need a few here.

[Dawg61]

CT bunts Britton over 1 out runner on 2nd

[DudyDawg]

CT bunts. J-Vick up. Also surprised he hasn't been PH for, for matchup purposes

[Dawg61]

Vick fly out to CF 2 outs

[DudyDawg]

Theres the old Vick. Lazy fly to CF, two down. Pirtle up, this time from the right side

[Dawg61]

Oregon 18 Clemson 1 in 7th

[Dawg61]

LSU 2 SELA 1 in 4th Kentucky tied 3-3 with Kansas

[DudyDawg]

He grounds out to SS, no runs added. That doesn't scare me, but makes me nervous. Going to the top still 5-2

[curmudgeon]

Clemson and North Carolina probably got in the tournament on pedigree. Neither team was very good. I notice Long Beach trounced UNC earlier.

[DudyDawg]

Oregon 18 Clemson 1 in 7th

Is this a typo!?

[TheRef]

Is this a typo!?

Not a typo.

[Dawg61]

Is this a typo!?

No typo, 18-1 Oregon in 7th, Clemson is embarrassed

[smootness]

I would bring Holder in for the 9th if it's a 2-run game, or I'd have him ready if it's still a 3-run game and a runner gets on. We can't play with fire, and pitching one inning would still keep him available for tomorrow and actually might be better in the long run, just to keep him warm.

[DudyDawg]

haha holy cow. I was hoping for Clemson's sake it was. Thats rough

[DudyDawg]

I would bring Holder in for the 9th if it's a 2-run game, or I'd have him ready if it's still a 3-run game and a runner gets on. We can't play with fire, and pitching one inning would still keep him available for tomorrow and actually might be better in the long run, just to keep him warm.

Totally agree, if it is close. Would only want to see him throw low 20's in pitches though if he goes

[CadaverDawg]

If Myles could finish this game, it would be the perfect scenario for us. And after that 2nd inning, who woulda thunk it?

[DudyDawg]

No typo, 18-1 Oregon in 7th, Clemson is embarrassed

Also going to assume there is no run rule in Tourney then?

Myles pitching well, 1-2-3 seventh

[smootness]

If Myles could finish this game, it would be the perfect scenario for us. And after that 2nd inning, who woulda thunk it?

Yeah, I'd let him keep going, but I'd have Bracewell ready to go in the 8th and Holder in the 9th if he starts to look shaky.

[CadaverDawg]

I just knew that Fitts was toast after they scored 2...how big was that Vickerson hit and that inning as a whole? Unreal. That one at bat could be the difference in a deep run in his tournament.

[DudyDawg]

Collins strokes a liner for a single to center

[CadaverDawg]

Yeah, I'd let him keep going, but I'd have Bracewell ready to go in the 8th and Holder in the 9th if he starts to look shaky.

Yea, I wouldn't warm up Holder unless there's big trouble.

[Dawg61]

Collins redeems himself hit up middle 1 on 0 outs

[CadaverDawg]

Glad to see Collins rip one after that hideous K last at bat

[Dawg61]

SDSU has thrown over 35 pickoff attempts

[DudyDawg]

Very good bunt by Heck moves him over. Didn't work last time, lets see if it does this time

[Dawg61]

Heck bunts man over, trying this same strategy twice in 2 straight innings #Cohening

[DudyDawg]

Glad to see Collins rip one after that hideous K last at bat

Yup, those two ABs were absolutely polar opposites

[starkvegasdawg]

I just knew that Fitts was toast after they scored 2...how big was that Vickerson hit and that inning as a whole? Unreal. That one at bat could be the difference in a deep run in his tournament.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll be settling in to watch them in Omaha again and thinking back to that inning as being the one that gave us the momentum to get there.

[Irondawg]

wonder why we aren't pinch hitting for Brown with a RH here

[I seen it dawg]

Let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet. We have to finish this one.

[Dawg61]

Hearing lots of Ball 4 chants and it works 2 on 1 out

[DudyDawg]

Cody draws the walk. 1st 2nd one out. Detz up to bat, RBI last AB

[Dawg61]

Detz back up

[I seen it dawg]

wonder why we aren't pinch hitting for Brown with a RH here

Up 3 with this guy close to done and they are short on LH relievers. If game was one run we prob do hit for him. Not the right situation to.

[CadaverDawg]

Cody draws the walk. 1st 2nd one out. Detz up to bat, RBI last AB

Great at bat for Cody

[Dawg61]

Detz has 40 RBIs

[msstate7]

Detz has 40 RBIs

He needs 42

[curmudgeon]

I tried to tell you guys SDSU couldn't hang with us. If not for back to back mistakes in the top of the 2nd, this would be a 5-0 game. I thought their other possible starter was a little better than we saw today. If they throw him against Jackson State, this essentially becomes a three game series with ULL.

[Dawg61]

Another pickoff attempt goes into CF but can't advance. We have zero steals

[Dawg61]

Pitching change

[Dawg61]

Detz pops out to CF can't advance 2 outs

[I seen it dawg]

And the LH is gone.

[msstate7]

We have our best 2 starters and relievers available (fingers crossed) to face them too

Wes dribbles one off the end of the bat, second baseman flips it with his glove to first for the out. Wes is not fast

[Dawg61]

Rea swings for the fence and it goes 7 feet headed to 8th 5-2 Dawgs

Thanks for this.

[CadaverDawg]

Hahah, how funny is it that Vickerson is the hero for game 1 after we all bitched about him starting. Classic. Cohen gets us again

[Dawghouse]

UK gives 3 back, now 6-3 Kansas in top 2nd.

[DudyDawg]

Leadoff man uo vs Myles. 5-2 top 8. Hope he's on a short leash but can bare down here.

[Dawg61]

did clemson pull off the comeback???*

No Croom is in charge of their offense today 18-1 Oregon in 8th

[curmudgeon]

SDSU has three hits. 2 from one guy. Fitts and Gentry dealing.

[DudyDawg]

Lazy fly to CT. One down. Myles has pitched well two, Cadaver. Cohen just does this to make us look bad.

[Dawg61]

Texas 2 aTm 0

[curmudgeon]

I like the Aztec feathers on San Diego State's helmets though. Starting to see that more in high schools - big logos on the side of helmets.

[Dawg61]

2 outs

[curmudgeon]

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 for Gentry.

[Dawg61]

Another clean inning for Gentry 20 pitches headed to b8th 5-2 Dawgs

[DudyDawg]

another 1-2-3 inning for Gentry. 5-2 Bottom 8. Pretty complete game so far for us it seems. Especially from Cohen. Made the right moves (and non moves like leaving Detz in to face a lefty) for the majority of the game. Cruising pretty well right now.

[smootness]

Phenomenal job by Gentry. That's 13 straight, 9 by Gentry.

[CadaverDawg]

Gotta give it up for Myles Gentry. Well done so far, son. One more solid inning.

And Fitts too, for bouncing back after the bad inning

[CadaverDawg]

Phenomenal job by Gentry. That's 13 straight, 9 by Gentry.

Beat me to it. Incredible job by him

[Dawg61]

Britton rips shoestring catch for RF 1 out

[I seen it dawg]

SDSU is a bunch of clowns. Good call curmudgeon.

[DudyDawg]

CT groundout to second. Two down, Vick up

[MarketingBully01]

Hahah, how funny is it that Vickerson is the hero for game 1 after we all bitched about him starting. Classic. Cohen gets us again

Yeah and Myles Gentry shutting them down as well. Maybe him coming in against Kentucky got those cob webs out. Who'd a thunk it like a mad scientist Cohen pushing all the right buttons right now.

[CadaverDawg]

Bradford's hit streak on the line.

And now over. Was at 13 straight

[DudyDawg]

Vick with a single up the middle

[Dawg61]

Vick rips single 2 outs

[CadaverDawg]

Haha, Vick with another rip

[DudyDawg]

Pirtle with a single. Two on two down for Collins

[Dawg61]

Pirtle rips single between 3rd n SS 2 on 2 out

[CadaverDawg]

What a great hitter Pirtle is. Saw them playing him to pull, then drives it through the opposite side. Great approach

[MarketingBully01]

Hey, if this is Vick's coming out party I'm good with it. He needs to start hitting consistently so he can be our lead off guy next year because I gaurentee you Cohen will start him there next year.

[CadaverDawg]

How bout a bomb, Gavin

[Dawg61]

3-0 on Collins

[Dawg61]

Collins destroys ball down line and blue calls it foul Cohen out arguing it

[DudyDawg]

Collins hammers one that would've been a ground rule double. called foul. Looked like it hit the line

[Dawg61]

Replay looks like it hit the line

[DudyDawg]

Guess theres a downside of turf. No chalk kick

[drunkernhelldawg]

sigh

[Dawg61]

Cajuns need to put some padding on the brick where that foul was, dangerous

[Dawg61]

aTm scores 2-1 Texas in 2nd

[DudyDawg]

Grounds out to 2b. Cant help but feel a bit robbed there. Still a job to do. 5-2 to top 9, would expect Gentry to be in and someone in the pen ready just in case

[maroonmania]

Hope losing those 1 or 2 runs with the foul call doesn't become an issue.

[CadaverDawg]

Come on, Myles! Close it out big guy

[curmudgeon]

Wasn't hard. 10-6 against Top 50 was VERY misleading when nine of the games were against UNLV. Not exactly Oregon State and Washington.

[Dawg61]

LSU tied 2-2 with SELA in 6th

[curmudgeon]

All three of their hits have come from the 4-5-6 hitters here.

[CadaverDawg]

Broadcaster's jinx. Just said Gentry has gone 9 up, 9 down

[Lloyd Christmas]

Brad Haynal has an unfortunate sounding name

[Dawgface]

Replay looks like it hit the line

It was a hit for sure. Hopefully it won't matter.

[Dawg61]

Wow what a play by Britton on dribbler down line 1 out

[DudyDawg]

slow roller to Britton down the line. Makes the play. Kid has a hell of an arm. 1 down

[CadaverDawg]

Helluva play by britton

[maroonmania]

Huge out by Britton to start the 9th.

[curmudgeon]

2 down. One out from playing THE BEST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY.

[Dawg61]

Gentry fields it 2 out

[smootness]

How many pitches has Gentry thrown?

[CadaverDawg]

Hell yea! 1 more!

[DudyDawg]

Comebacker to Myles. 1 more

[Hypnodawg]

Britton has really impressed me with his play from 3rd.

[drunkernhelldawg]

that's what it takes.

[Dawg61]

slow roller to Britton down the line. Makes the play. Kid has a hell of an arm. 1 down

Can he pitch some next year? Has a cannon

[CadaverDawg]

How many pitches has Gentry thrown?

28

[Bubb Rubb]

Gentry POUNDING the strike zone

[CadaverDawg]

0-1

[CadaverDawg]

0-2

[CadaverDawg]

1-2 (was a strike)

[TheRef]

SELA up 4-2 after a 2-run blast in the 6th

[CadaverDawg]

Foul ball

[CadaverDawg]

SELA up 4-2 after a 2-run blast in the 6th

Wow

[MarketingBully01]

That movement Gentry has on his pitches is pretty wicked. I think Todd is right he could turn into a Caleb Reed before his career is over.

[Dawg61]

Rea fields a sharp liner Dawgs win!!!!!

[CadaverDawg]

BALLGAME!!!

[Bubb Rubb]

wrap it

[curmudgeon]

Played our game. Great defense. Excellent pitching. Should have been 5-0.

[CadaverDawg]

Rea with the gold glove! Helluva job, Gentry. Hats off, son

[maroonmania]

Good win. We will likely need more than 5 to beat ULL tomorrow though.

[DudyDawg]

Ballgame. Wrap it in Maroon and Gentry. 5-2 dawgs
Story of the game is simple. Fitts, Vick, Myles

[TheRef]

Good win. We will likely need more than 5 to beat ULL tomorrow though.

Depends on how Mitchell is doing tomorrow.

[msstate7]

Gentry did exactly what we needed. Gutsy move by Cohen to use him. Nice job dawgs

[MarketingBully01]

And no use of Holder or Lindgren. That to me is huge.

[drunkernhelldawg]

Our pitching is amazing this season. Can't remember it ever being this good.

[maroonmania]

Wow SELa jumps to a 4-2 lead over LSU in the 6th.

[sandwolf]

Damn Gentry mowed their asses down. He looked great.

[Dawgface]

Good solid win.

[Bucky Dog]

Started following in the 4th and didn't want to jinx the mojo. Good win. Clean game and our pitching is set up as well as it could ever be to make a run. Win tomorrow. Let's go JSU! Both of them!!!

[maroonmania]

Kudos to Vick. For all the grief he's gotten his 3 run triple was the difference in the game.

[quickstrike2]

Great win boys. Good job by Fitts to settle down after the bad inning and Gentry with a big time performance.

[MarketingBully01]

Wow SELa jumps to a 4-2 lead over LSU in the 6th.

And that's why you play the games. :)

[LC Dawg]

Great game. Our pitching situation is setting up fantastic. Glad to eat some crow for earlier comments about Gentry on another thread. He pitched a helluva game and Fitts did a great job in recovering from a little trouble.

[starkvegasdawg]

Wow SELa jumps to a 4-2 lead over LSU in the 6th.
Cajuns everywhere just choked on a frog leg.

[sandwolf]

And no use of Holder or Lindgren. That to me is huge.

Agreed.....having Lindgren available to relieve Mitchell puts us in as good of a situation as we could have asked for.

[I seen it dawg]

Damn if Ross can just get us thru the 6th tomorrow with the lead the coonasses get to face thunder and lightning out of our pen.

Boys I'm telling you those bastards will be jacked and the stadium will be rocking tomorrow night. It will be crazy as it always is playing south la baseball in a big game. We have to withstand the first couple of innings of emotion and the first time they threaten to score. We make it thru that and all the stupid ass crotch chopping and yelling they will be doing and we will beat their ass.
